Although Mumbai’s skipper Rahane contributed 78 runs off 84 balls, he appeared uneasy against Tripura’s not-so-formidable bowling attack.

The innings gained momentum with a brisk 26-ball-55 from all-rounder Manisankar Murasingh, who hit five fours and three sixes.
Tushar Deshpande, recently called up to the India ‘A’ squad, took 2 for 57 in his 10 overs for Mumbai. Despite the defeat, Mumbai remains in a strong position in the group standings.
